– Out of Compliance Fines/Reputation– Pump out/Disposal charges– Clearing Line Blockages– Trap/tank/line Maintenance and repairs– Treatment costs/Utility Bills
– Caustics/ strong acids/surfactants react with grease to form soluble compounds and generate heat to soften it and move it downstream
– Potential Risks to personnel, environment and downstream blockages
• Enzymes– Organic (protein) molecules that catalyse chemical breakdown of long chains to smaller ones.
Each enzyme unique shape to work on one substrate eg Amylase for Starch breakdown to glucose.
– Enzymes are NOT alive and so can not reproduce. Risk that long chains will reform downstream and cause blockages. No effect on Phosphates, Nitrates etc.
• Bacteria– Living cells that reproduce by generating enzymes to break down the long chain waste molecules
to shorter forms and then consume the shorter molecules and reduce them to water and CO2. Also consume any Phosphates, Nitrates, Ammonia in waste
– No risk of downstream blockages, environmentally friendly
• BioGenerators– Pre-grow tailored Bacteria in ideal conditions: nutrient, aeration, so huge colonies of fully active
Bacteria are dosed automatically– Most effective and economical way to dose Bacteria
• Bacteria/other constituents– Physical form: Solids, Liquids– Type and Number of Strains– Concentration/Activity/Shelf life– Nutrient content– Enzymes, surfactants and other chemicals in Blend
• Cost /Price – Product Price vs Cost in use vs Performance
• Application Equipment– Pumps/timers– BioGenerators: Grow tailored Bacteria in ideal conditions: nutrient, aeration, so huge
colonies of fully active Bacteria are dosed automatically and ready to work immediately!
BioGenerator-Bacteria• Most commonly Bacillus strains because they can be stored as stable,
tough, long shelf life liquids, with Bacteria in Endospore form:• Subtillis, Thuringiensis, Licheniformis, Megaterium, Stearothermophilus,
Polymyxa, Pumulis
• Many other Bacteria can be used depending on nature of waste to be degraded including Pseudomonas Putida, Fluorescens, Stutzeri, ThioBacillus, LactoBacillus, Cellulomonas uda and more!
• Bacteria produce:• Natural Surfactant (Surfactin)• Wide range of enzymes
